Every time we see Ugly Betty's Ignacio Suarez pull a batch of enchiladas out of the oven, or offer unsolicited (but straight from the heart) advice to his daughters Betty and Hilda, we secretly wish we were in their shoes. Endlessly nurturing and intensely protective, Ignacio has become this generation's iconoclastic Latino father figure. But Tony Plana, the man who puts on an apron over his short-sleeved shirt week after week to play Ignacio, is no stranger to fatherhood himself.

Looks like parenthood is suiting Jessica Alba and Cash Warren very nicely. Cash's pal and business partner, basketball player Baron Davis, recently visited the couple and can't stop himself from gushing about the happy family. "Oh, I couldn't wait to see them after the baby was born," Baron told People. "They are the picture-perfect happy family."

If rumors are to be believed, Mario Lopez can add "dirty dog" to "egomaniac" on his list of not-so-flattering personality traits. Fox News reports that Mario has had a secret relationship with 22-year-old San Antonio bartender and reality TV star Meaghan Cooper, whom he met four years ago (when she was 18!) while Mario was making a promotional appearance in Texas.

If 2003's The Hulk, directed by Ang Lee, weighed down the story with psychoanalysis and brooding by the hero, Edward Norton's The Incredible Hulk works hard to do the opposite: It includes big, noisy sequences that revel in mayhem and destruction, takes the time to make a few jokes and is peppered with cool cameos. The movie is very fast-paced: Even the backstory telling how Bruce Banner came to be the Hulk is dispensed with quickly, in a wordless opening montage that's custom-made for Generation Youtube but may leave the uninitiated a little confused.

No New Wedding Bells for Mariah

Looks like Mariah Carey's Manhattan wedding plans are nixed. After the quickie hitch to Nick Cannon in the Bahamas, a second wedding was in the works. "The small wedding in the Bahamas was nice, but it was not Mariah's style. The lady loves a spectacle," a source told MSNBC. Mariah had been planning an over-the-top affair with thousands of guests (Naomi Campbell had already rsvp’ed!) and 14 bridesmaids. But at a cost of over $4 million dollars, Mariah was hoping to pick up some of the tab through the sale of photographs.
